Just as @peterleinchen said, check your /etc/fstab
So, more problems. I was studying the /etc/fstab for a while, and then the phone went black. Now whenever I plug it in, the status light turns on dimly white, and I can't get it to respond - I can't even reflash a kernel. Holding power button does nothing. Now what?

Update: phone turned on to recovery console for a few seconds, here is my /etc/fstab:
Code:
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p3 /home ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir 0 0
ubi0:var /var ubifs noauto,no_chk_data_crc,bulk_read
What changes do I need for my current partition layout?

If your /home is p5 like you posted earlier, then you would want to change the second line addordingly, to something like
/dev/mmcblk0p5 /home ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1 0 0

But there's one question I'd really like you to explain; Why on earth have you made a partition layout like this, why have an extended partition there with a smallish /home partition?
I mean, what are you trying to accomplish??
If you needed more partitions, then it made sense you allocated a lot bigger chunk to the extended partition and put your data partitions inside it. As it is now, you are just wasting your FLASH size...

AND make sure your ubiboot.conf points the OSes to the right boot (rootfs) partition(s)!

What I'd do first, is I'd look at the syslog if there's some obvious errors or funny writings when you start up MfE. I'd also try to uninstall/reinstall the SW to see if it makes any difference.

Last resort of course is to reflash the device, that will sure fix it, but it is a tedious work as you always need to install everything there after the flashing.
After a night sleep I remember the flash problems I had in Sept.13 on my N9 16GB:

(see also #950)
It end with flashing to old kernel harmattan pr.13! due to proposal from nieldk #959 (to whom also had PM talk about it in our native language)

I left more space inside the extended partition for more partitions later; I wanted to have the current setup working before I started sticking more partitions in it.

OK, that makes sense then.

I believe the problem is not kernel, and not ubiboot, I believe you have problem in your Harmattan OS of the second device.

Just flash it with L2-fixed kernel, and try how it works without ubiboot.

Your ubiboot setup will not disappear, everything will be just as it was when you flash it again with ubiboot kernel.
You are right now 100% I see now have tested same kernel on both N9: zImage_2.6.32.54- dfl61-20121301 harmattanpr13@openmode
AND MfE works on N9 16GB but NOT on N9 flashed to harmattanpr13 and back to ubiboot. In both cases NO MfE server connection on this N9!

EDIT: Have stopped using MfE (always problem with sync - deleting everything!) now CalDav+Google(gmail) and manual import of contacts due to this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82979 then also possible to have stable contact groups!

Ok, I changed that and now Harmattan is booting again! My other OSs are still borked though, giving the "Boot OS/kernel selection failed! Please run a maintanance(sic) boot" - would that be something I need to fix in ubiboot.conf or in the individual OS's?
